Nekocon
Ok, so the cosplay adventure is over until Katsu. We survived (just barely), and despite my best efforts, we did some sewing in the hotel room. However, I had all of our boys done beforehand, so we only had one person's costume to finish, and she had a valid excuse (having to help everyone else make their costumes...) Nonetheless, it was a good con, and we had a ton of fun. Our Advent Children group had a lot of pictures taken of us, and except for one awkward moment in the dealer's room a little bit of creepy fan interaction, it was pretty awesome. I stabbed a lot of people (but mostly my Cloud). Here are some pictures of the group:  my group  Me with my Masamune    It was completely necessary. I'd had...like, an average of 5 hours of sleep over the past three days...  The other Sephiroth at Nekocon. We bonded over some Cloud-killing. | | Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 | | 9:32 pm |
Destiny
So, another meme, taken from Bii ( *sC-facTion). Here's the description: Rewrite the above boring, "bare-bones" story, using poetic imagery to make it into an engaging romance, mystery, tragedy, comedy, horror story, or any other genre of your choice. Every aspect can be as you want it. It can be any length, as long as it addresses each part of the outline. Each element can have your own twist: the man can be anything from a munchkin to a troll to a collage professor; the dwelling can be a house of cards to a million dollar mansion; the trees can be made out of candy if you pleased; the cup can be anything from the holy grail to a paper cup; the thing in the cup can be ANYTHING; the body of water could be a puddle or an ocean; the other person doesn't even have to be a ' person '; the object on the table can be ANYTHING; ANYTHING can 'suddenly happen'. There are endless possibilities. Your aim is simply to use poetic descriptions to make the story more interesting.And the passage: The man walks out of the dwelling and down a path. Along the path are trees. He looks down at the path and sees a cup. There is something inside. He takes the item with him as he crosses a body of water. In the distance, he sees another dwelling. Before he reaches it, someone appears and then leaves. Inside the dwelling, there is a table with something on it. Just then, the person from the path appears. Something happens.
And finally, this is what I came up with for it. Feel free to try it out and see what you end up with. | | Monday, October 19th, 2009 | | 10:44 pm |
A meme thing
Umm, yeah, no story updates yet. Still working on Advent Children cosplay. I have been working but by little bit on the next section of Brownies. I'm not abandoning things, I swear. Anyways, since one who asks a question of this meme is morally obligated to post it, and since I suffer from curiosity and feel compelled to ask questions, I figured I should offer those who follow my stuff the same opportunity.
The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you. | | Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 | | 6:04 pm |
Shuiyidan character: Nolar's story
Wrote up a background story for Nolar Sipsclar to try to get a better feel for him. It didn't quite work. I don't know why I always end up making side characters more important than the main ones. I kind of want to rp Cory now. Oh well. It also turned out angstier than I had intended. That's what I get for writing during exam week. | | Saturday, September 12th, 2009 | | 10:38 pm |
Gingerbread Chapter 1
For some reason, continuing this seemed like a good idea at the time. I once again blame the stress and the sleep-deprivation. Why, college, why? Title: Gingerbread
(http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2719802/1/Gingerbread) Author: demonrubberducky Rating: M Genre: Fantasy, humor, romance, Warnings:M/M, eventual porn, bad puns and fairytale references. It's pretty bad. | | Sunday, July 26th, 2009 | | 12:40 am |
Gingerbread preview
Ok, prepare yourself for some sleep-deprived crack-fic. After spending entirely too long lurking on aggybird's lj and convincing myself that writing fairytale porn is a good idea, I decided to try my hand at it. My mother had some surgery done the other day and I stayed with her in her hospital room today, and with the collaboration of my lack of sleep, the long hours of doing nothing while she napped, and the presence of my trusty laptop, this happened. It's nowhere near finished, has seen no editting, and is pretty crack-filled. If people read it and want more, let me know and I will try to fix it up, finish it, and make it semi-presentable. If not, I'll resume work on Milk and Brownies...eventually. August is going to be a busy month for me. Almost looking forward to school so I can get a break... My mind is weird when I have no sleep.

Heartstrings Preview
Since Brownie readers have been so curious about Elf King Gerald, and because I started off Hugo's story planning on writing the sequel, I went ahead and wrote down the very beginning of Gerald's story, 'Heartstrings". If you want to give it a read and leave some feedback, feel free. The rest of the story will be written after I finish Milk and Brownies (although I have both stories planned out already). Warning: This little tidbit does contain some Brownie spoilers. Read at your own risk. | | Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 | | 2:39 pm |

Milk and Brownies 8
Chapter 8! I like this one; it's starting to get to the part of the story I've been wanting to tell. | | Monday, May 18th, 2009 | | 10:34 pm |
Brownies 7
Chapter 7...delayed by exams and general rl business. Sorry for the wait. It's short, but it's getting toward the introduction of the second batch of characters. | | Monday, April 6th, 2009 | | 4:55 pm |
Brownies 6
It's chapter 6! It's really short, and kind of late! Enjoy! The use of exclamation points makes these sentences more enjoyable! | | Thursday, March 26th, 2009 | | 1:52 am |

Note to self: Pirate fights were-shark. Witty one-liners and the killing of were shark. Rumors of treasure from a seedy leprechaun pimp (lucky charm bling, and the line, "Would ye be interested in a bonny lass? She can do the horizontal river dance like you wouldn't believe *leer*" or something of that effect). Onward sailing, *woah* ZOMBIE-were-shark! Controlled by mer-necromancer!!!! WTF??? This story must get written whenever I get some free time. In more coherent and entirely more relevant news, I'm procrastinating on M&B. Midterms are technically over on Friday, though, so I'm not officially late yet. Current Mood:  weird | | Saturday, February 28th, 2009 | | 1:03 am |

Milk and Brownies chap 2
Chapter 2 (it didn't get posted at the same time as the fictionpress chapter, but this one is the super-awesome edited chapter, in which I fix some and maybe all (here's hoping) of the spelling mistakes. Yay!) | | Friday, August 29th, 2008 | | 5:00 pm |

Otakon 2008
Otakon was pretty awesome. I took a lot of pictures, bought a lot of stuff, saw a ton of amvs, and had a blast. I didn't get to any of the panels because they were too crowded, and I missed a few things because I had to wait on other people in the group or because they didn't want to go to certain things. However, overall, it was fun. Some highlights: cosplay- I did two costumes (three, if you count how Nekozawa can become Kyouya with the addition of glasses and the loss of a puppet and a cloak)- Miss Cloud and Nekozawa. Even if not a lot of people recognized Miss Cloud, the people that did and glomped me, and the Zack who I hit on a little, made it worth it. Let's see if I can make pictures work.. .    My friends cosplayed too, which was fun. We had a turk, Kakashi, Iruka, a bleach character, and Quail-man (who got asked to take more pictures and who generally got more recognition than the rest of us, even though his costume took only a fraction of the time to make. He was eating up all the attention, but the rest of us are kind of shy, so it's probably a good thing). I took some great pictures of cosplayers, too, because there were a ton of great costumes. There was one guy who may or may not have been Castlevania Alucard. I didn't ask in case he wasn't, but I choose to believe he was. Alucard is so yummy. Also, while I was cosplaying Ms Cloud, an Aeris interviewed me for finalfantasyxiii.net, which was kind of strange. I didn't know there was going to be a video camera involved... Apparently there is going to be a podcast, which maybe I'll be in. I'm kind of afraid to look and see, because I'm afraid I'll be awful in it. I didn't know what they were going to ask or where to look or anything. Cameras freak me out. Anyways, the website it FinalFantasyXIII.net, if anyone wants to check it out and stay posted on the status of the next installment of the FF series. Since I was in FF costume, I also took the opportunity to phoenix down a lot of fallen characters. Some people apparently didn't get that phoenix downs are feathers from a phoenix, but after I handed it to them and shouted, "Phoenix down!" most understood. I raised an L chained to a Light on Thursday evening at pre-reg. She was a little freaked out when I walked up to her and put something on her head, but once I told her what it was, she was happy. From what my friends tell me (I was too busy running away), she said, "Awesome!" and turned around to her Light and yelled, "Ha! Take that, you bastard!" I found the same pair later and gave them a 'Death Cat'- a Death Note version of the Beelzenef puppet from my nekozawa costume (I forgot to take a picture of it). Once again, they were confused, but happy when they realized what it was. (I was glad I found them again, because none of the other L and Lights were chained together, and I wanted to give Death Cat to a pair of them that was). Other characters phoenixed downed: -Maes Hughes from FMA -Deidara -Aerith/Aeris (two of them, the second one because she squealed and took my picture, so I wanted her to live) -A Mello who also took one for her child Matt I think I raised one of the other people twice, but I don't remember who. Then there was the cursed phoenix down, which the characters rejected. I used it on an Auron from FFX (I didn't think he'd like it , but my friends wanted me to try). He didn't seem very excited, and since he decided he could do more as a dead person, he gave it back to me. Zabuza from Naruto similarly enjoyed his deadness, and Axel from Kingdom Hearts 2 told me he was the phoenix, so he didn't really need one. After that, I stopped trying to give it to people. I eventually lost it in the dealers room, probably when I was searching for wall scrolls and didn't have an extra hand to hold it. The Loot: The list of things I bought- -A Castlevania Alucard sticker, to adorn my external hard drive, which is named Alucard after him. -A Matt (deathnote) bookmark. He's so cute, and a video game junkie at that! -A xxxHolic wallscroll for my dorm room. I couldn't find one with Doumeki and Watanuki, so I settled for Catboy Watanuki, Yuuko, and Himawari-chan. -4 volumes of the manga 'Godchild' and one volume of the prequel, 'Cain Saga' -the box set version of Nerima Daikon Brothers -A foam stand-up Tobi (from Naruto). His name tag says he's a good boy -and a black plushie Mokona (xxxHolic) for my little sister. All in all, I came back poorer, but having had a wonderful time. I hope to be back next year for more crazy otaku-ness. | | Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 | | 6:03 pm |
